He can well claim the title of Canada's busiest mayor. : To bolster this claim citizens of Walkerton point out that Mayor Lobsinger divides his daily routine as follows: He owns and operates one of the town's main garage and auto accessory businesses. He owns and operates a 1,800-acre bush lot outside Walkerton, reforesting it at the rate of 5,000 trees a year. He runs a sign business and has painted practically every locally produced sign'in the district. He is chairman and treasurer of the town-owned ice arena and rarely has missed a hockey game. He is secretary of the Volunteer Fire Department and never misses a fire. He is president of the South Bruce Game and Fish Protective Association. He is developing a tract of riverside land into a park which he personally maintains for the enjoyment of the public. . : One wonders how he finds the time to eat and sleep let alone find time to attend council meetings and conduct election campaigns. . Counting The Cost Writing in his column "Outdoors" in the Peterboro Examiner, Pete McGillen last Saturday dealt with the heavy toll of deer taken by hunters in Peterboro County and poses the question of whether does and fawns should not be protected for a time in order to ensure a supply of deer for hunters in 'future years. His point is well taken. It is one that every hunter should think over carefully. MecGillen says the slaughter of deer this autumn has been the worst in the history of Peterboro County and estimated that, counting the deer taken by poachers, the total kill would be in the neighborhood of 700 to 750. The Haliburton correspondent of the Lindsay Daily Post estimates 50 deer were killed in that area during the first week of the hunt. The same story goes for almost every section of the country in which hunting is permitted. The wholesale slaughter of deer cannot be continued on such a scale indefinitely, even admitting that deer multiply fairly rapidly. Average Per Issue FOR OCTOBER of breeding stock. Local sportsmen know only too well what has happened to the fishing in lakes in Southern Ontario. The same thing _can well occur as regards deer, Fire Takes Awful Toll Fire has again taken a tragic toll of human life. At Madoc yesterday a mother and her six children lost their lives when their little, metal clad home was burned, ap- parently as a result of an overheated stove. ,The sad story is not a new one, but its repetition may serve as a further warning to others. Sa - The father, a truck driver who also kept some stock, lit the fire in the kitchen stove and went out to do his chores, leaving the stove unchecked, depending on his wife to get up and check it. To hurry the fire along he used coal oil on the kindling and then set. the can down beside the stove. His wife slept in, the stove became overheated, the can of oil exploded and in a flash the building was an inferno, with no chance for rescue. The distracted husband and father could only look on helplessly while his little home became a funeral pyre for his loved ones. He was later found by a neighbour "crying his heart out" in a fence cor- ner. Too late he realized the need for greater care in handling 80 dangerous a thing as fire, described by some one as "man's greatest servant, when controlled, but his most deadly enemy, when out of control." The lesson to be learned is the same that has' been pointed out by this and other writers on many other occa- sions, that most fires are preventable and a great many of them are directly the result of carelessness.*One can sympa- thize with those who suffer, but vain regrets are of little avail when it is too late. For those who have the responsi- bility for the safety of others we emphasize the need for constant vigilance to prevent fires that may cause great loss of property and lives, and terrible mental anguish to them- selves, if they survive. ---- BIGGAR & CRAWFORD | Medben Toronto Stock Exchange 340 KING ST.

The Cadillac area saw possibly the largest appeal 'by home- owners and the remarks of the Court of Revision are worth no- ting by the residents of this area North of King St, and East of Ritson Rd, It was the decision of the As- sessor that this area was compar- able to the area south of King St. for assessment purposes, but the | Court realizing that we were sub- | ject to various nuisances, such as | transport yards, lumber yards and the hydro station and its] tower lines, could not fairly be the area to the south of King St., and the Court recommended to the Assessor that next year he res | view this whole area when mak-| ing hls mssessment and make an adjustment accordingly. All residents of this aréa should Le very watchiul noal yoo. and see that they get proper ad- justment, and if they do not, then all should appeal for the adjust- ment they are entitled to. Another interesting situation revealed by the Court is that as- sessments have been raised on a number of vacant lots to which no sewers and water services were available, and in the cases where appeals were entered the Court allowed same, Anyone simi- larily assessed should take note of this fact and appeal their as- sessment next year, In one appeal which the Court dismissed an appeal was made in comparison with a property more valuable but no consideration was allowed, even though the prop- erty compared to; received spec- fal consideration because the owner created his own nuisance. This does not seem fair. I realize it would be difficult t~ make an assessment that suits every one, but at the same time it is the duty of the city to in- struct its assessor to see tha: ev- ery one receives the same treat- ment, and if. a party creates his own nuisance then no special al- lowance should be made as in such case, se It is time that every one should review the a--> sment of their properties and next year when the assessment is made, ap- peal to the Court of Reviston to secure the adjustments they are eutitled to. Trusting these remarks will be of value and will be heeded by the residents of the areca as mentioned above, Please accept my thanks for this medium of expression, : ORVILLE C. 73 Cadillac Ave, N. , Oshawa, Nov. 16, 1946. e A Bible Thought "Love your enemies." .(Matt. 5:44.)
